Bangkok celebrates Queen Sirikit: 2,500 citizens celebrate gratitude!
On October 26, 2025, scores of citizens gathered at the Grand Royal Palace in Bangkok to attend the veneration ceremony of Queen Sirikit, the King's mother. Around 2,500 participants were already present at 10:00 a.m. and the atmosphere was characterized by calm and gratitude towards the Queen. This ceremony also included the water consecration of the royal body of Queen Sirikit, further underscoring the significance and historical context of the event news.in.th reported.
The Bangkok city government was well prepared for this impressive event. To support participants, 1,000 additional food boxes were provided, and medical staff and nursing staff were on hand to ensure the well-being of those in attendance. Everything was also thought of for people with limited mobility: there were a sufficient number of wheelchairs available at the venue. In addition, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment provided 3,000 bottles of drinking water - a real blessing for the thirsty participants.
Environmental awareness and traffic management
Another important aspect of the event was the commitment to environmental protection. The Bangkok Environment Agency and the Phra Nakhon District Office set up waste separation stations to organize waste disposal and prevent the celebrations from harming the environment. Systematic waste disposal was also planned.
The smooth running of the event was ensured by the city's traffic authority, which deployed city officials to monitor traffic and crowds. This meant that visitors could concentrate entirely on the dignified ceremony without having to worry about possible traffic problems.
The ceremony honoring Queen Sirikit fits into the rich tradition of Thai royal ceremonies. This tradition was recently revived with the coronation of King Maha Vajiralongkorn in May 2019 and the associated celebrations that lasted for several months. Its ceremonial name, Somdet Phra Chao Yu Hua Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun, shows the deep-rooted connection between royalty and the Thai people, which is further strengthened by such events, reports der-farang.com.
Overall, the event reflected not only the veneration for the late queen, but also the Thai people's desire to preserve and celebrate their cultural heritage. Such days reveal the unity and pride of the nation, which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the Thai people.
